Abstract

A display device comprises a front case having a microphone hole, a rear case assembled with the front case into a single casing, an intermediary case positioned between the front case and the rear case, and a microphone. The intermediary case has a through hole at a position corresponding to the microphone hole. In one embodiment, the microphone is mounted adjacent to the microphone hole in the front case, and between the microphone hole and the through hole, with the front end of the microphone being directed to the microphone hole. In another embodiment, the microphone and its holder are both mounted in the front case.

       3. The display device as claimed in claim 2, further comprising: a box-shaped microphone mount formed around said microphone hole for at least partially receiving the body of the microphone holder; and   a plurality of guides formed on the inside wall of said holder mount for guiding and fixing said microphone holder, thereby preventing said body from being moved.   
     
     
       4. The display device as claimed in claim 3, wherein said snap arm has a wedged portion formed on a free end thereof, said wedged portion being locked into a jaw portion of said through hole of said intermediary case when said microphone holder is disposed in said through hole of said intermediary case. 
     
     
       5. The display device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said snap arm has a wedged portion formed on a free end thereof, said wedged portion being locked into a jaw portion of said through hole of said intermediary case when said microphone holder is disposed in said through hole of said intermediary case. 
     
     
       6. The display device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a box-shaped microphone mount formed around said microphone hole for at least partially receiving the body of the microphone holder; and   a plurality of guides formed on the inside wall of said holder mount for guiding and fixing said microphone holder, thereby preventing said body from being moved.   
     
     
       7. The display device as claimed in claim 6, wherein said snap arm has a wedged portion formed on a free end thereof, said wedged portion being locked into a jaw portion of said through hole of said intermediary case when said microphone holder is disposed in said through hole of said intermediary case. 
     
     
       8. A display device, comprising: a front case having a microphone hole formed therein;   a rear case assembled with said front case to form a single casing;   an intermediary case positioned between said front case and said rear case. said intermediary case having a through hole formed therein at a position corresponding to said microphone hole; and   a microphone mounted adjacent to said microphone hole in said front case, and between said microphone hole in said front case and said through hole in said intermediary case;   said display device further comprising: a microphone holder for holding the microphone;   a box-shaped holder mount formed around said through hole of said intermediary case; and     a plurality of guides formed on an inside wall of said holder mount for guiding and fixing said microphone holder in said through hole.   
     
     
       9. A display device, comprising: a front case having a microphone hole formed therein;   a rear case;   an intermediary case disposed between said front case and said rear case, and assembled with said front case and said rear case to form a single casing, said intermediary case having a through hole formed therein at a position aligned with said microphone hole in said front case;   a holder mount formed around said microphone hole of said front case; and   a microphone holder for holding a microphone and having a body disposed in said holder mount, said body at least partially receiving said microphone and being provided with a snap arm for elastically supporting the microphone holder in said holder mount.   
     
     
       10. The display device as claimed in claim 9, wherein said snap arm has a wedged portion formed on a free end thereof, and said holder mount includes a locking groove, said wedged portion being locked into said locking groove when said microphone holder is disposed in said holder mount. 
     
     
       11. A display device having a cathode ray tube, said display device comprising: a front case having a microphone hole formed therein;   a rear case;   an intermediary case positioned between said front case and said rear case, and cooperating with said front case and said rear case to support said cathode ray tube, said intermediary case having a through hole formed therein at a position corresponding to said microphone hole;   a microphone; and   means for mounting said microphone adjacent to said microphone hole in said front case, and between said microphone hole in said front case and said through hole in said intermediary case;   wherein said mounting means comprises a microphone holder having a body disposed in said through hole of said intermediary case, and at least one snap arm connected to said body for elastically supporting said microphone holder when said body is disposed in said through hole of said intermediary case.   
     
     
       12. The display device as claimed in claim 11, further comprising: a box-shaped holder mount formed around said through hole of said intermediary case; and   a plurality of guides formed on an inside wall of said holder mount for guiding and fixing said microphone holder in said through hole.
